Some of these pieces are quite easy to write as they're supported by a lot of contemporary information. Others, like this one (and this one) are a lot more difficult as there's no information whatsoever. Not anywhere. So who was / is Jet and what made him create this wonderful record?

Dwight A Oliver - he is Jet (as, confusingly, are a lot of other people) was born in Allman Town, Jamaica before moving to New York aged 12. He wrote for himself as well as Doug E. Mack and VIGAROUS and in 2000 released an album called Reggae On A Cool Vibe which they hoped would be useful in "introducing the world to a new and competent group of reggae artists and musicians." There it is - competent, that's exactly what Hanging Wid Da Jetsetterz is and there's a peculiar flavour to competence, it sounds quite unlike anything else. In Jet's case competence reveals itself as tracks that are sort of fascinating in the way they're forever at least two hand spans from being even marginally good. Take the beach-party setting of Honeyz which, from its "Will this do?" title down - or up - is an exercise in noncommittal shruggery. Starting with a chant so half-arsed I'd be surprised if it could sit down straight, it descends into a staggeringly jerky verse. "All I know that, them bitches be phat", Jet croaks, without even an ounce of genuine enthusiasm. Nice N Sexy is an actual masterpiece, "Do you really think I'm nice," Jet exhales, "do you really think I'm sexy?" He's joined by by a female singer who finds it impossible to stay in key, while woundingly hackneyed lyrics attack an instrumental track so tired it can barely stand. Hip Hop Bounce is so weedy it actually has to be heard to be believed, while Jet's wavering, worrying vocal on Hooked Up and Give My Love A Try ("You're a sexy lady, give my love a try, tonight…") marks him out as the sort of loverman you'd recommend your friends run - screaming - a country mile from.

And yet, and yet. The questions remain. Why did Dwight make this? What did he think when he first heard it in playback? Has anyone ever actually bought a copy? What's he doing next? "I've always had a passion to create music because I know that I have a lot to say that people would like to hear," he said in a CD biog a few years ago. If you're out there, Jet, get in touch, we'd love to know if that was true.
